The Two Faces of January

Front Cover
Atlantic Monthly Press, 1988 - Fiction - 284 pages
Three of them are waiting. Rydal Keener is waiting for something exciting to happen in his grubby little Athens hotel. At forty-odd, Chester MacFarland has been waiting much longer, expecting his life of stock manipu-lation and fraud to catch up with him. And Colette, Chester's wife, is waiting for something altogether different.

After a nasty little incident in the hotel, they all wait together. As the stakes--and the tension--in theirthree-cornered waiting game mount, they learn that while passports and silence can be bought, other things can cost as much as your life.
